Using aerosol, acrylics, oils, charcoal, and graphite, Mostrom's iconic figures are reminiscent of fellow Ringing School of Art & Design alumnus Scott Sinclair without being derivative. It's clear the two artists share a background, yet they have clearly chosen different paths. As Sinclair's work has grown more texture and collage-heavy, Mostrom's work maintains a heavy illustration style that has made him a favorite with bands for album cover work. Gunmoll, Crucible, and Mike Hale, to name a few, have commissioned work from Mostrom for their album sleeves and the results are always stunning.
This 12" by 12" piece from Mostrom shows him using a lighter color palette than normal, giving a greater contrast to the character itself. His use of pale blues for the background and white for the scroll detail cause the dark earth-tones to come forward in a way that is unusual for his work, which normally forces the viewer to hunt for the details.
